Gillis paints a picture of a pressurized suit in a suspension system that can sort of replicate what it'd be like to step out of a spacecraft's hatch opening."You can suspend a crew member sideways and practice hatch operations in a very high-fidelity microgravity environment simulation," she said.
"One of the joints that we worked really hard on are the rotators on the arms, the shoulders and the wrists, which allow the rotation of those joints. They're unique in that, when they're unpressurized, they stay soft and flexible so that during dynamic phases of flight, like launch or reentry, you don't have hard, metallic objects that are kind of loading into the body of the crew members. They stay soft.
After completing the bulk of their research in the mission's highly elliptical orbit, the Polaris Dawn crewmembers will lower their apogee to about 435 miles , where they will conduct their EVA. Amongst all the research on the mission's docket, testing and validating the new suits will not only mark a significant milestone for Polaris Dawn and the Polaris Program, but also for SpaceX.
